Armenia and Iran are among the most ancient countries in the world and have lived as neighbours through thousands years of history. Armenian and Iranian culture has many similarities and relations. During the recent years, tight relations are being established in more and more spheres, including politics, economy, tourism, sports, culture and indeed science. This Workshop is to strengthen our scientific relations and establish new collaboration. We plan to organize such workshops on annual basis, succeeding each other one in Armenia and one in Iran.
